The newly engaged couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped out today for their first royal outing in Nottingham, and quite naturally, all eyes were on Markle’s outfit.

For her first public official outing with Prince Harry, Markle chose to wear a double-breasted military coat by American outerwear brand Mackage. Underneath her coat, Markle wore a Wolford black turtleneck sweater, Joseph beige skirt and Kurt Geiger’s Violet over-the-knee boots.

Markle set off the entire look by carrying a tri-color tote by ESSENCE-approved handbag brand Strathberry, which was previously featured in “Dope Stuff On My Desk.”

A spokesperson for the Scotland-based brand issued the following statement to The Telegraph: “We are thrilled and honoured to see Meghan Markle carrying our Strathberry Midi Tote. It was a fantastic surprise to see that Meghan selected one of our core Strathberry styles to carry on her first royal engagement.”

Although the tri-color version that Markle carried is now sold out, you can shop other colorways of the Strathberry Midi Tote here. The affordable tote retails starting at $625.
